Chapter 28
This news, soon spread to Fu Feng Xuan as well.
Rong Xiangmian took that jade bracelet in his hands and looked at it again and again before putting it away in the box that Yu Wang sent along with it.
This is not worthy of wearing, tomorrow, it should be returned.
At night, inquired about the father alone in the study, Rong Xiang see with Linlang went, in front of the father, performed a big bow, kneeling, said: “father, daughter has never begged the father what, today the first time to open, please father fulfillment.”
The British Duke was uncertain: “Xiangmian, get up and speak.”
Rong Xiangmian refused: “Daughter is unfilial, give father trouble. Tomorrow, the palace will announce the decree, sister will be married to the royal family, it is the honor of our Rong family, in that case, there is no need for my daughter to go. Please ask father to intercede with his majesty, so that the marriage between my daughter and king Yuh’s marriage will be exempted!”
Duke of England sighed: “Have you thought about it, even if you don’t marry King Yuh, other good families will not dare to want you in the future.”
“My daughter would rather not marry for the rest of her life, and would rather go to a nunnery to be an aunt, but she would never be able to share a husband with her sister and be a side-chamber.”
“Sister don’t worry!” At this time, Rong Xiang Gu walked in and knelt down side by side with her, “Father, as long as my son is here, he will take care of fourth sister. Son’s children, too, will be filial to fourth sister. My son would rather she be a girl for the rest of her life, staying at home and living in peace, than marrying into the royal family as a side consort!”
Seeing the two children’s love for each other, the British Duke was filled with emotion. Their mothers were so at odds with each other that they caused a great disaster, but I didn’t expect the children’s feelings to be so good.
And thinking that, Xiangmian for the reputation of the Duke of England’s House, these years are very aggrieved, at this moment also feel that they have to make amends to her, so he said, “Good, tomorrow the decree comes down, I’ll go into the palace.”
The next day, the people of the British Duke House woke up early, set up incense, waiting for the decree to come down.
When it was almost noon, Duzhi Shen brought people to personally come and announce the decree.
The Duke of England with Rong Xianggu and Rong Xiangwang knelt in the courtyard of the front hall to receive the decree.
In the Yu Qing Hall, Liu and Rong Xiang Zhi sat and waited impatiently for the announcement from the front.
Finally, the little girl sent to hide in the front hall to overhear the decree ran back to report the joy: “Congratulations, madam, congratulations to the third girl!”
The mother and daughter duo were immediately overjoyed.
“What does the holy decree say?”
“His Majesty, by the Imperial Empress Dowager’s kind order, has bestowed the Third Miss with the marriage to the Elder Princess’ residence, and all ceremonies will be organized as the rites of a county king!”
“What?” With the words of the maid, the joy on the mother and daughter’s faces suddenly froze.
“Yes, His Majesty has also specially appointed our family’s fourth girl as the County Princess of Qinghe, and bestowed her marriage to the Yuhang Mansion, double happiness!”
“County Lord?” Rong Xiangzhi murmured in disbelief, and when she realized the reality, she was so angry that she threw her fan at that girl’s face, “What double happiness?”
Liu was composed and quickly regained her normalcy, “His Majesty has elevated her, so naturally it’s a great joy. Ji Xiang, you go down.”
Ji Xiang was confused by the fan, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses.
“Don’t be quick to get out!”
In Fufeng Xuan, Rong Xiangxiang was writing, rubbing several balls of paper, not satisfied with how she wrote.
“The girl’s heart is not still, write again later!” Lin Lang advised her.
Rong Xiangmian threw the pen away, bereft. I don’t know why I had clearly made up my mind, but I was temporarily fickle.
Feiyun Feixue all rushed over and comforted by her side. They understood the girl’s grievances best and made eye contact with each other. They had all seen with their own eyes the elegance of King Yu, and the girl’s refusal to marry into the royal family as a side consort was giving up her destiny with His Highness.
Rong Xiangmian looks at the pen she threw around, knocking on the desk leaving a puddle of unsightly ink, Feiyun immediately wipes it off, Linlang rests her pen on the pen holder, Feixue puts away the ball of paper she threw all over the table.
When one’s heart is not quiet, one spreads one’s anger and drags a bunch of people down with him. If the three of them were unhappy, who would clean up after them? She herself was really in the middle of a blessing and didn’t know it.
“Sorry.” Aimi was a bit remorseful for her outburst just now, she didn’t know what was wrong with her, she had never been like this before.
Lin Lang and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, “It’s good that the girl is out of breath and the anger in her heart has subsided.”
Rong Xiangmian smiled in embarrassment, took a pen again, dipped it in ink, laid out the paper, and wrote down ten big words: traveling to the water’s end, sitting and watching the clouds rise.
“Good!” Seeing that she seemed to have the intention of cheering up, Lin Lang laughed, “If the girl has this heart, she won’t be afraid of anything in the future.”
Feiyun was just about to ask what these few words meant when she was interrupted by a crisp “The Holy Decree has arrived.”
Rong Xiangwang was puzzled, “How did the imperial decree get here?”
At a glance, it was Rong Xiangwang and Rong Xiangwen, the two siblings, bursting into Fufeng Xuan, still pretending to hold up the imperial decree, not to mention how funny it was. Outside the courtyard, Wei mother and other people are crowded at the door to see the fun.
Rong Xiang Wen unfolded the imperial decree in front of him, said loudly: “The fourth daughter of the Prince of England Rong’s, the family Mao crown, Qingcheng ritual training, chaste and smooth nature, the words of the rules, the nature of the soft Jia, holding the bow of Shu Shen, I look forward to receiving the Empress Dowager’s kind oracle, the special Qinghe County Princess, the marriage of the Emperor’s fourth son, Zhou Xian Yang. All ceremonies, by the Ministry of Rites in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior, Qin Jia.”
“What? County Lord?” The whole room, even the maids waiting outside heard this, all happily came over, one by one, to give Rong Xiang Yang to say goodbye.
Nurse Wei mother is the most happy, at this moment tears are coming out, “That’s good, your mother knows, surely happy.”
“I …… “Rong Xiangmian was confused and asked, “What about third sister?”
“His Majesty has issued two imperial decrees, giving the third sister a marriage to the Eldest Princess House! And also to the county king of the ceremony to organize it.” Rong Xiangwen didn’t know what Great Aunt and Third Sister were thinking, and only said, “This is not a double happiness! Perfection!”
“Amitabha Buddha!” Lin Lang clasped her hands together in devotion, and Fei Yun Fei Xue jumped with joy.
Rong Xiangmian still felt unable to believe it. Yu Wang …… What?
“This time I can call you Consort Yü Wang, right?” Rong Xiangwang made a solemn bow. Rong Xiangwang patted him, “It’s not yet, it should be called Qinghe County Princess.”
Thus, the whole house started jokingly greeting her again.
Ji Xiang ran to the lake and hid under the rockery for half a day crying.
Suddenly a gentle voice asked, “This girl, on the big day, why are you hiding and crying?”
Looking up, it was the new aunt Zhong who entered the house.
“Aunt …… is clearly double happiness, how come I said these four words and was beaten by the third girl? Where did I say wrong ah!”
Aunt pursed her lips and smiled, “It’s not that you said it wrong, it’s that what the masters think in their hearts and what they say on their lips are often different. You are wrong if you only hear what they say on their lips and don’t guess what they think in their heart.”
Jixiang did not quite understand, aunt pulled her up, “Go, go to congratulate the fourth girl.”
Rejoice people house can not stand, Rong Xiang see see a crop of people, only to have time to put the holy decree properly read.
“Chaste and obedient nature, words and tolerance have rules, the nature of the soft Jia, hold the bow Shu Shen, how do I feel that this word is not talking about me, or even a little bit of relationship.”
“Aiya, the holy decree, always pick good words to put together, the same as we were punished by Mr. to write an essay.” Rong Xiangwen said as she ate, her mouth bulging like a squirrel. The second aunt immediately stopped her: “Nonsense again, it’s not your turn to say the imperial decree?”
Mr. and Mrs. Rong Xiang Gu also came, at first they worried a lot for the fourth sister, now with this result, they are all very relieved.
Not long after, someone came from the front to say that the Duke of State wanted to see the fourth girl. Rong Xiangmian immediately put the holy decree away and prepared to bring it over. Before leaving the door, he walked back to the dressing table and put the jade bracelet on his right wrist.
So he had already decided when he gave her the bracelet?
